Update: After wearing a blackout version of the Adidas Predator 18.1 football boots in training last month, Zinédine Zidane has switched to the launch colorway of the all-new Adidas Predator 18.1 football boot, a day ahead of the official launch.

Meanwhile, Karim Benzema laced up in the upcoming golden Adidas X 17.1 football boots colorway, while Luka Modric wore the Nike Mercurial Vapor XI instead of the Nike Flyknit Ultra Ice Pack boots that he would be usually supposed to wear as headline player of them.

2017 FIFA Best Coach of the Year Zinédine Zidane and his son Luca slipped into a blackout version of the upcoming Adidas Predator 18.1 football boots, further pushing the hype ahead of the much-awaited permanent comeback of the iconic Adidas Predator silo in December 2017.

Completely blackout, the Adidas Predator 18.1 football boots feature a knitted Primeknit upper with rubber elements. The rubber elements are designed for increased swerve and ball control. The outsole and the collar of the Adidas Predator 18.1 football boots are also very different to the Adidas Ace 17.1 football boot that is replaced by the Adidas Predator.
